Hearing a petition seeking contempt of court proceedings against President Asif Ali Zardari, the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday said its ruling with respect to cessation of political activities in the Presidency was not being implemented.

A five-member LHC bench, headed by Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, has been hearing the petition seeking contempt of court proceedings against President Zardari for not complying with its May 12, 2011 judegment declaring political activities by the president unconstitutional.

The bench added that the president should adopt an honest approach in the petition, adding that if the Presidency failed to respond positively, the bench would rule on the matter accordingly.

Earlier during the hearing, the federation’s counsel, Barrister Wasim Sajjad, submitted an application requesting adjournment of proceedings.

Justice Bandial said the bench had been apprised that no political activities were taking place in the Presidency. However, the media had been reporting otherwise, saying political activities were at their peak in the Presidency.

The bench later adjourned the hearing until March 29.
